Jackie Chan plays a villain, sort of
Posted by martialfighter on June 9, 2006
Jackie Chan’s newest movie is called Rob-B-Hood. After the success of the 2 Rush Hour movies, Jackie’s other made-for-America films just didn’t seem that popular. Who actually saw The Medallion or The Tuxedo? As a result, he went back to his roots and recently starred in two movies with more international appeal. The Myth and New Police Story were quite successful in Asia but have yet to make officially make it to North American audiences. Now, before going back to finish of the trilogy in Rush Hour 3, Jackie has made this new movie called Rob-B-Hood where he plays a ‘villain’ of sorts, stealing a baby for ransom money. Nonetheless, the character he plays is still the main character and actually turns out to be a good guy. Jackie would never play a bad guy!
Below is the Hong Kong trailer for the film. It will be released in September for Asia.
